The table below shows the results of men and women at the U23 (Under 23 years old) and senior categories at a World Championship level, Olympics included.

However, the margin between the first and second boat does.

Analysis
In order to test the hypothesis that the 2016 U23 USA Women’s 8+ result was outstanding, we needed to compare it with others at a similar world championship level. We analyzed the winning margin for all 8+ events at the World Championships and Olympics for U23 Women, U23 Men, Senior Women and Senior Men. Note that U23 championship for men and women only started in, respectively, 2005 and 2006.
Anti-doping has been a concern in rowing since the 1960s. FISA (International Rowing Federation) implemented its first anti-doping regulation in 1976, long before WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) was established in 1999 and before the anti-doping code was adopted at the Sydney Games in 2000. Thus the consideration of results starting from 1977.
Of the 17 data points collected on the U23 Women’s category, the 2016 US 8+ was the only crew to have a winning margin over 7 seconds, an incredible 3.56 seconds above the average winning margin. Furthermore, across all 122 data points collected, we found the average winning margin to be 2.05 sec, 5.11 sec less than the 7.16 sec winning margin of the 2016 USA Women’s 8+.
Addtional Notes
Prior to the racing event, all nine athletes in the boat and the coach took the GRI survey, which highlighted the team's quiet diversity and each individual's unique character and style. The purpose of the study is to take data from the GRI survey, along with findings from individual meetings, and analyze how these factors played a role in the crews exceptional winning margin.
